Get your feline Halloween ready with this tiny bat skull charm for its collar, made from solid brass.

Though this charm is around a quarter of a size of a one pence piece, it is stunning - and the detail on the miniature skull is incredible; even down to the care taken over the sculpting of each tooth, and bends and cavities in the skull.

Due to its small size, it also helps eliminate the chances of the item getting caught as your puss jumps and climbs.

Though it is a little overpriced at £19, it truly is a one-off piece unlike anything I’ve seen before - and perfect for the purring predator in your living room.

The only thing I would change is to make is slightly larger, as if your cat’s fluffy, their fur may hide it.

Though it may seem a little pricey on the face of it, this little pot of balm goes perhaps twice as far as a normal cream - perhaps further. Despite this, the balm itself soaks into the skin beautifully and has a delightful scent, thanks to its 100 per cent natural ingredients; which include avocado, macadamia and pumpkin.

This thin, yet luxurious face serum is an absolute delight to use. I’ve tried a fair few face serums - and, due to the fact I have very dry skin, have often found they are not strong enough, and leave my skin feeling tight and itchy.

This cream, however, is wonderful. One use (a little goes a long way) and my skin instantly feels smooth, hydrated and firm.

For those who like to mix creams with concealer and foundation, this is ideal for such use, as it mixes wonderfully; as it is neither thick or greasy.

The serum contains pumpkin, frankincense and electric daisy - and the scent produced from these ingredients makes this luscious cream all the more delightful to use, and the scent stays with you for a good few hours.

What else is so lovely about this product is the fact it is made from 99 per cent natural ingredients - so you know there are no nasty perfumes or chemicals which may result in irritation.

This serum won Silver at The Green Parent Natural Beauty Awards 2014 - and it’s clear to see why.

I’ve loved Playmobil for as long as I can remember, but my how far their products have come since the early 90s. The figures themselves remain largely the same, but the car in this set is outstanding.

Each figure - Winston Zeddemore and Janine Melnitz - comes wearing a Ghostbusters uniform, with removable hair and backpack Proton Packs which clip on to the figures’ backs. To clip on to these Proton Packs are Proton Wands, making it appear that the pair are shooting laser-like ammo. They also come with an opening ghost trap (though I was a little disappointed this has to be opened manually, with no trigger) and a PKE meter for measuring psychokinetic energy.

Silicon slime splats also come in the set, which stick to the car and other smooth surfaces.

The car itself is awesome - and many a guest has commented on it after seeing it on display in our home. It has a working light and sound module on the roof, which sounds the original siren sound and flashes blue lights.

The only thing I was disappointed with was the fact the doors do not open, so the roof must be removed to sit the figurines inside the car.

An excellent gift for a huge range of ages. It contains 79 pieces though; so it wouldn’t be suitable for young children due to the complexity and small parts.

I cannot comment on how the colour would look without bleaching first, as I needed the bleach to strip my hair of dark brown and red tones.

As would normally be expected, it took three boxes of bleach to cover my hair - and though the result (again, as expected) was white roots and orange ends, it was covered very well by the Platinum dye.

For those intending to use these products in the same manner I did, I would recommend investing in some silver shampoo - as, no matter how good a bleach is, brassy tones will always be the end result for those with red tints.

The dye itself was very easy to use, went far and left my hair looking shiny - despite all the bleaching. It is also incredibly good value for money.

The bleach, on the other hand, did not go very far at all. It did, however, give better than the results I had hoped for. Still an absolute bargain at £5.20 per kit.

Kids and adults love it so… And it’s no different at Halloween - especially with the added scarily sour and spicy Tangfas Tricks and the special edition Starmixes, complete with green eggs and blue and purple hearts.

These are great - the individual bags are ideal for giving out at Halloween (no one wants loose sweets floating around in their kids’ treat bags), while the Duo Tub is excellent for Halloween parties or gatherings.

The eery theme continues through all the items - including the individually-wrapped Trick Or Treat bag, which includes jelly bats, spiders and pumpkins.

This tremendous mascara is among the best I’ve tried. Upon initial application, this mascara perfectly highlights each lash, and spreads them evenly. With the second application, however, the mascara builds up; creating a stunning, false-lash like effect. Keep building until you get the desired effect.

My only complaint about this mascara is, if you build it up too much, fibres do drop onto your skin after a little while, leaving you with black dots and, occasionally, smudges.

But for those, like me, who cannot apply false lashes for anything, this is a great alternative.

This unique concept is a wonderful activity for a rainy day this Halloween - and a superb surprise for any Game Of Thrones fan.

HBO and Carlton Books have teamed up to bring out this collection of mask books, designed by Wintercroft. Choose from a White Walker design, the House of Stark Direwolf, House of Lannister Lion or the House of Targaryen Dragon. We went for the latter.

For the low price of £14.99, this great set is fairly easy to put together - but you will need glue or tape (and a fair bit of patience) to do so.

There are lots of pieces to it too, so it may not be suitable for small children.

Once built, the impressive 3D cardboard mask can either be worn (ideal for trick or treating or fancy dress) - be careful though, it’s still fairly fragile - or mounted on the wall.

The slimy green mask is in fact a repackaged version of the firm’s menthol cucumber mask - a refreshing, minty viscous liquid which turns into a silicon-type material once applied to the skin.

Though it is not the most intense of masks, it’s very refreshing and tingly - and leaves the skin feeling more firm, smooth and plumped. Having dry skin, however, I could have done with something a little more hydrating.

I also worried it may be an issue to peel off; but the mask came off in one whole piece - with the exception of the odd bit left around my hairline. These bits came off very easily with water, however.

Inject some danger into your dishes with this limited edition sauce offering straight from the flames of hell.

My other half is a huge fan of all things spicy - so he couldn't wait to sample the cause covered in a bold label stating ‘try at your own risk’.

Made with the world’s hottest chilli - the carolina reaper - I was expecting a world of pain the minute I tried a tiny droplet of the bright orange concoction.

I was pleasantly surprised that this sauce blended heat as well as flavour, to create a spicy mix that was actually incredibly tasty.

Tomato, cumin and garlic worked fantastically with the carolina reaper to tone down it’s harsh flavour, making it a perfect addition to various dishes.

My other half, an avid fan of hot food, did not think this sauce quite lived up to it’s bold claims that it would challenge even the bravest of chilli lovers - but he did agree that the sauce was packed full of flavour and a nice addition to Encona’s already extensive range of high-quality offerings.

Not so much a challenge to a lover of spice, the Encona Limited Edition Carolina Reaper Chilli Sauce is a tasty addition to any condiment collectors kitchen.

To mark the passing of William Peter Blatty who died in January this year, The Folio Society have produced a stunning illustrated edition of his classic horror novel The Exorcist.

Bound in blood-red, hard back material with gold foil lettering - the book’s appearance from the outside is as ominous and bold as the tale within.

Inspired by the real-life exorcism of a child in the 1940s, The Exorcist follows the gripping tale of a young girl thought possessed, and the small group of determined individuals who race against time to save her.

This tale comes frighteningly to life with haunting illustrations from acclaimed artist Jeremy Caniglia that encapsulate the the gruesome scenes that inspired the novel itself.

These illustrations lend themselves perfectly to the chilling words on the page - and put you right in the mind of the author himself.

The book holds its audience in a vice-like grip of terror and intrigue like never before in this beautiful tribute to William Peter Blatty.

On top of being gorgeous, this book is also hard-wearing to protect all of the beauty inside - and comes in a sleek and sophisticated hard black case for safe-keeping.

Horror isn’t all about films - you’ll be having nightmares after reading the chilling tale of The Exorcist, given a new lease of life by The Folio Society.

You may think that these flavours would not be true to life, and you couldn’t be more wrong. This product would not be well-suited to someone with a weak stomach with their strong and sometimes very unpleasant flavours that can only be revealed when it’s already too late.

There are no subtle difference in appearance between the nice and naughty beans - making them all the more fun.

We spent hours laughing and gagging over the weird and wacky flavours, and a lot of time sighing when we got a peach bean rather than a vomit one!

Everyone can join in with the fun - as these beans are gelatine free and kosher.

Easy on the wallet and brilliant fun, a packet of Jelly Belly Bean Boozled is perfect for your Halloween party... If you’re brave enough.
